COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONTröegs Pale Ale is an American style Pale Ale that is aggressively hopped with Northwest Cascades and balanced with Belgian crystal malts to create a hoppy, copper-colored crisp ale. An excellent example of a classic American Pale Ale.

From tap at Sunset Grill. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white and creamy head. Aroma is peachy and slight citrusy. Peachy and light citrusy hoppy. Bitter, peachy and slight citrusy finish.

Bottle from Chevy Chase Beer & Wine, chilled for 8 hours.
Very clear golden straw with a very small white head that disappears quickly. Little carbonation.
Aroma of fresh flowers and grass, some citrus and a faint hint of black pepper.
Taste is clean and crisp, slightly bitter edge but plenty of malt as well - good balance. Hint of sweetness at the beginning, finish is dry and nicely bitter.
It’s always a pleasant surprise to find a subtle American pale ale that doesn’t clobber your palate with hops. Good example of the style.

Had a cup from the taps at PS1. Poured a rich orange with a fine layer of pure white head. Smelled of bitter hops. Flavor was mostly hoppy but with minor malt character. Some pine and citrus notes. Had a nice, crisp finish. Very good beer.

A: The pour is a slightly hazed golden orange color with a massive, rocky, white head and some sticky lacing.
S: Plenty of hops to the nose. Lots of great floral and earthy notes with some citrus peel to it as well. Pale cracker malts with a touch of bread providing a light sweetness.
T: A massive orange flavor to the beer--orange peel and some orange juice. Lots of floral qualities as well. Quite dry with a moderate breadiness. Notes of grass and sweetness as it warms up a little bit. The bitterness is fairly light.
M: Medium in body with an extremely high level of carbonation.
O: A good pale ale, though a bit different from what I’m used to. Good hop flavor, though, without being super bitter.
